CHAPTER THREE
"Thank you again Haruhi! I really appreciate you carrying three of the cakes for me!" I had made six cakes last night, and luckily for me Haruhi had agreed to carry half of the cakes for me. Though I think she only agreed because she noticed that I couldn't see over the top of all six cakes, it wasn't my fault that I was so short.
"Eh no problem Katherine." I smiled at her as we entered the Third Music Room. "We can just put these in the kitchen." I wasn't entirely sure why there was a kitchen in the music room of all places, but I wasn't going to argue with it. "Thanks again Haruhi! I can walk you to class if you'd like? You're a freshman right?" I thought she was a freshman but I wasn't entirely sure since I was new at the school.
"Yeah I am. What class are you in? Because I wouldn't want you to go out of your way to walk me to class." Oh…I guess being short doesn't make me seem like a senior…
"I'm a senior. I'm in class 3-A same as Mitsukuni and Takashi! I know I'm a little bit short but…" I stopped my sentence short, realizing that I was rambling again. "Anyways I'll see you later Haruhi! Have a good day!" I told Haruhi, returning to my usual happy self.
After walking, and almost getting lost, I got to my classroom. Though I had apparently gotten there early, since the class was mostly empty. Looking at the clock I realized that I had nearly fifteen minutes before class started…maybe I should have walked with Haruhi after all. Glancing to my seat I saw that Mitsukuni and Takashi weren't here yet, but I walked over to my seat and sat down anyways. I then pulled out my supplies I would need for class today. After pulling out my supplies I pulled out the yoyo that I was going to play with yesterday, but I then heard some of the girls in my class squealing. Looking over I saw that they were squealing because Mitsukuni and Takashi had arrived to class. I stood up grabbing the cookies, which I had made for Mitsukuni, out of my bag. I walked over to go ahead and give the cookies to Mitsukuni, when I was glomped by my short senior.
"Kitty-chan!" I heard him say, I guess glomping me was harder since I was almost the same height as him.
"Mitsukuni!!" I hugged Mitsukuni back, after all he was the closest thing I had to a friend so far; aside from Haruhi that is. "I have the cookies I promised you!" I then happily held out the cookies to Mitsukuni, in truth I had made two batches of cookies instead of one knowing how much he liked sugary foods. I could hear some of the girls squealing in the class, but I ignored it assuming they thought Mitsukuni was being adorable again.
"Thankies Kitty-chan!!" Mitsukuni then dragged me over to our desks, the silent Takashi following us.
Class POV
The girls squealed happily as they saw Honey and Mori arrive at class; Honey on Mori's back as usual when they entered. Mori then lowered Honey to then ground, gently setting him down. It was then that they noticed the other new short senior girl walk over; the girl had short black hair, light gray eyes, and was only an inch or two taller then Honey. Honey then preceded to glomp the little girl happily. "Kitty-chan!" the short blonde senior said, while he glomped the small girl. While this annoyed some of the girls, others found this to be very adorable.
"Mitsukuni!" 'Kitty' said almost as happy as the other short senior, but she confused some of the girls in the class. Why was she calling him by his name and not his nickname? She then handed the boy something, "I have the cookies I promised you!" She seemed to glow from her happiness, now none of the girls could say that this wasn't adorable of the girl, she seemed to be so pure and innocent. Some of the girls couldn't help but to let out a squeal from how adorable the two were looking and acting together. The two almost looked like they were friends back in elementary school.
"Thankies Kitty-chan!!" Honey said to the girl, while he was overflowing with happiness, before dragging her over to where the two of them sat, with Mori following closely behind them. A majority of the girls let out another squeal of joy, finding it to adorable; before sitting down to talk about what had just happened for the last five minutes before class would start.
Katherine's POV
Today was basically the same as yesterday was. I only paid half attention in classes, talked and ate with Mitsukuni and Takashi, well more with Mitsukuni since Takashi was such a quiet person. I actually found out that Takashi was a part of the Kendo club. I was actually able to convince them to let me tag along with them today; it had been really interesting. I was following behind them to the Host Club; I wanted to ask Kyouya something. At the moment Mitsukuni was on Takashi's back, rubbing his eyes tiredly…he had actually fell asleep at Takashi's Kendo meeting. As they entered I heard Mitsukuni say,
"Sorry. We're running late." Mitsukuni was still rubbing his eyes as he spoke.
"Hello Honey. Hey Mori. " One girl sitting on the couch said.
"We've been waiting here for you guys. Hi." Another girl sitting across from the other girl said.
"I'm sorry. I was waiting for Takashi to finish his kendo meeting and I fell asleep. And I'm still not completely awake." The entire group of girls around the two gasped loudly before squealing out,
"So cute!!!" I hated to admit it but it was very cute…though it also sounded like something that would happen to me. I slowly made my way over to where Kyouya was, but I was unable to ask him my question. Though I did hear Haruhi quietly ask,
"Is that boy really a third year student?"
"Honey-sempai might seem young and childish, but he's a protégée. And then Mori-sempai's allure is his strong and silent disposition. " Kyouya explained to Haruhi, and though I'm fairly certain that Kyouya noticed me, he didn't make any means to let me know that he had.
"Haru-chan!" Mitsukuni shouted, grabbing a hold of one of Haruhi's arms, spinning her around. "Hey Haru-chan you want to go have some cakes with me!" Mitsukuni asked Haruhi excitedly.
"Thanks but I don't really like cake." Haruhi spoke as she still spun slightly, I giggled slightly as I realized that she was dizzy.
"Then how would you like to hold my bunny Usa-chan?" Mitsukuni held out his pink bunny to Haruhi as she said,
"I'm not into bunnies." Gee Haruhi way to be blunt. I saw that Mitsukuni got tears in the corners his eyes. I frowned wanting to go make Mitsukuni feel better, but I stayed put I figured I should let Haruhi deal with this since she started it.
"Are you saying you don't like Usa-chan?"
"I guess he is kind of cute? Huh?" Was Haruhi's reply upon looking closer at the pink bunny. Mitsukuni looked at Haruhi wide-eyed for a moment making a sound sounding like he realized something…Maybe he realized that Haruhi was a girl?
"Take good care of him, okay?" With that said Mitsukuni grabbed my hand pulling me toward the table he was at filled with cake. So much for asking Kyouya, maybe I can ask him after the club ends…
"Kitty-chan, what type of cake do you want?" He's offering me cake? I guess he doesn't know I made these cakes then. I giggled before answering,
"I'll take vanilla cake I guess." I always preferred vanilla cake to chocolate for some reason.
"Hey Honey? Are these cakes different from the ones here the other day? Because they taste much better for some reason." I practically glowed at their comment, they really liked my baking, I grinned at their comment.
"I'm not really sure…" He frowned, as if he were in thought, "Though Kitty-chan made the cakes yesterday. Did you make these cakes too Kitty-chan?" Though Mitsukuni's question was innocent, in made me blush in embarrassment since I did make these cakes; though I hadn't really wanted anyone to know that.
"Y-yes Mitsukuni…I actually did make the cakes today…" I blushed more, noticing the girls squealing at what I assume to be my cuteness.
"Well Kitty I really like it! Maybe you could make me a cake for my birthday?" One of the girls with long brown hair asked me. I could feel my face getting even redder then it already was.
" Y-you really like it? I-I'm glad then. B-but I'm not sure if I would b-be able to or not…if not I can get my mommy to make you a cake…she is the one who taught me to bake." By the end I wasn't stuttering at all, though I didn't want to tell this girl I would make her a cake and then later not have time to make her one. Looking over I noticed that Hikaru and Kaoru taking off Haruhi's glasses, but then oddly enough they froze in front of her, I wonder why. Noticing Mitsukuni and Takashi going over there I followed them, wanting to know exactly what was going on.
"I used to have contacts, but I lost them on the first day of school." As Haruhi spoke we all, Kyouya, Mitsukuni, Takashi, and I, stepped closer to Haruhi.
"Hikaru, Kaoru!" As Tamaki spoke he snapped his fingers.
"Got it!" The twins grabbed Haruhi by her arms, dragging her off to somewhere though I had no clue where. Pointing his finger at Kyouya Tamaki said,
"Kyouya! My hair stylist!" Kyouya then whipped out his cell phone, I assume he was calling the hair stylist.
"Mori-sempai go to the eye doctor and get him some contact lenses!" I was surprised when Takashi took off running…. did he even know what prescription Haruhi had? Mitsukuni then popped up in front of Tamaki asking,
"What about me Tama-chan?" I guess he really wanted to help them out.
"Honey-sempai!"
""Yes sir!" Mitsukuni then nodded his head cutely.
"You go have some cake." Aww poor Mitsukuni, and he was the one who really wanted to help out too. Mitsukuni then went to sit at a table and, more or less, pouted.
"It's just us Usa-chan. Everyone else said they were to busy."
"Can I join you Mitsukuni, I'm not too busy." I smiled at the blonde boy as he brightened up some, pulling over another chair I sat down. Mitsukuni and I ate cake for a while; he had at least fifteen plates of cake on the table now, while I had only had two slices of cake myself.
"Uhh sempai?" Haruhi asked questionably. I then noticed that there weren't any girls around anymore, just me... though the Host Club hadn't said anything so I guess I was fine to stay here, but I figured that I'd better stay quiet for now.
"What? Aren't you done changing yet?" Right after he asked that, Haruhi opened the curtain, showing that she was now wearing the males uniform…were they making her a host now?
"Are you sure its really okay for me to keep this uniform?" Gee Haruhi if it weren't okay then would they have given it to you?
"Cute. You're as pretty as a girl." It took all that I had not to burst out laughing; he really didn't realize that she was a girl… "Adorable." He was almost crying to, though I wasn't sure why.
"Haru-chan you look so cute!" Mitsukuni said gleefully.
"If we'd of known that's how you really look," one of the two twins stated, while the other said,
"Then we would have helped you out sooner."
"Who knows maybe he'll draw in some costumers." I guess Kyouya just wanted the business, I guess.
"You know that's just what I was thinking." Right I bet he was. I bet he was really imagine what Haruhi would look like as a girl…then again she is actually a girl so… this is all just too confusing for me. "Our errand boy is moving up the ranks. Starting today you are an official member of the Host Club. I will personally train you to be a full fledge host. If you can get one-hundred costumers to request your services then we will completely forget about your debt." The whole time he was talking, Tamaki was pointing at Haruhi.
"A host?"
After that the hosts returned to their hosting. I walked up to Kyouya, who I could now ask my question to.
"Hey Kyouya. I was wondering how long the club would need me to bring in the cakes? And if you would mind me making them in the kitchen if its for a long time? 'Cause it is a real hassle to carry them to school, even with Haruhi's help carrying them." I gave a smile, hoping that he would let me.
"Hmm…I don't see any issues with that as long as you have them done before Club starts, and you clean up any messes you make. It should be another week or two until the factory is fixed. I will let you know when it is fixed." With that said he went back to writing in his black notebook.
"Okie dokie…thanks Kyouya! I'll see you later!" I then walked over to Haruhi to let her know that I was going to leave earlier then her today, which she said she didn't mind. Then I said my good-byes to Mitsukuni and Takashi, telling them I would see them tomorrow. With all that done I walked home to get started on my homework, and I really felt like practicing my dancing tonight…
